After Xiong Dingcang finished speaking, he felt somewhat uneasy, his gaze instinctively sought out Nie Zhenbang. Ten square kilometers—this figure was carefully considered by Xiong. In terms of the experimental value, anything less would lack significance for reference, essentially equating to no experiment at all. Anything more and the cost would be too great, unbearable even.
Exactly ten square kilometers would be just right to form a one-kilometer-wide, ten-kilometer-long shelterbelt that could demonstrate its effectiveness in sand prevention in as little as two or three years, potentially even less time.
Xiong Dingcang’s “Desertification Control No. 5” wasn’t an ordinary shelter-planting project. The requirement was a density of one plant every two square meters. For ten square kilometers, that meant 5 million plants were needed—a staggering amount. Added to this were the construction of a drip irrigation system and subsequent maintenance costs, including the clearing of dead plants and replanting. Starting such an undertaking would cost at least two hundred million yuan.
Nie Zhenbang didn’t immediately agree. Times were different now, and with his current stature and position, what he said carried weight—even if it wasn’t set in stone, his words had to count. This was no informal occasion, but a very official research period. Whatever he said or did had to be responsible.
He couldn’t only see the benefits of “Desertification Control No. 5,” but also had to consider the costs involved. After pondering for a moment, Nie Zhenbang asked Xiong, “Elder Xiong, what is the rough budget for the expenses? Do you have a detailed plan on your end?”
In his address, Nie Zhenbang always used honorifics, ‘Elder Xiong,’ ‘you’—this fully reflected his respectful attitude towards talent.
